French residency for developing writers

Writers who are keen to develop their career and who think they
would benefit from two months' residence at an international arts
centre in France are invited to apply for next year's Robert Louis
Stevenson Memorial Award. Successful applicants for the award win
the chance to live and work in the Hotel Chevillon at
Grez-sur-Loing, where Robert Louis Stevenson made several visits in
the 1870s. Initiated nine years ago, the award is run jointly by
the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish Arts Council. For
more information, and an entry form, see our Awards page.
